I mean, he missed 2 today that could've turned this into a win, BUT, aren't his numbers normally pretty good?

Meh, can't say he's been awful but he certaintly hasn't been very good. He's an average kicker but the killer is he's one the most un-clutch kicker i've seen. Seems like all his misses are when we need the points the most.

The guy has been on lock for us but ever since last year and today he is less reliable. He missed two important field goals... both that would have ended the game. Kickers don't get many chances when they miss game winning field goals._________________

Who cares? Our team sucks anyways. I'd rather have a high draft pick than a victory that is essentially meaningless in the grand scheme of things. We should have sucked for Luck last year and we should suck for a good player this year. Keep up the good work, Carpenter._________________

Another season of this garbage? When do you want us to win games? Never?

You don't get a mulligan when you choke against the Jets. Same goes for Tanny Boy's pick six._________________NFL: Miami Dolphins

It's also on Tannehill for having a very poor outing. He didn't do enough, wasn't accurate enough, and really should have been a lot better, even against the Jets D. He did a good job of evading the blitz, but not a good enough of throwing it accurately to his target or to a target worth throwing to. And that INT TD was just pure reading of Tannehill's eyes. Landry was nowhere near Fasano at first. Look away!!!

Fingers must be pointed at the pass rush and secondary for allowing Sanchez to get going like that. The coaches can talk Wake up all they like and he has improved against the run and still gets tons of hurries, but we get the sack far too rarely to stop the passing game. The coverage isn't really that much to blame, I'd say.

The coaching staff clearly made mistakes as well. I really didn't like how we set up for the FG in OT. I don't think you put it on a kicker who missed a similar kick earlier to hit it now. Too much pressure, I say, and I would've definitely tried to get a few more yards on 2nd down.

Well, that's all she wrote fellas. This season is going to be another long one, in all likelihood. Heart wrenching loss.

Enough of this crap. You (and all the other suck-fers) act like we're one freakin' draft pick from winning the super-bowl, you act as if Luck or RG3 guarantees super-bowl victories. The Colts had Peyton for ages and only when their defense came to play did he get them a title. We had Marino for ages and barely sniffed a SB win...

- Carpenter missed two long filed goals. Those are never guaranteed, and I'm miffed that we "settled" for a 47 yarder. We needed another ten to fifteen yards to help our kicker. Question, how many of our kickoffs got returned?

- Tannehill threw a pick six. Rookie mistake? Maybe, but it cost us seven points while Carpenter cost us six points.

- Reggie Bush was very effective until he got hurt. We do need to resign him. Daniel Thomas looks overmatched to me. He doesn't do anything great, and combining that with the turnovers makes it hard to justify keeping him around. I think we need to draft another power runner next year and let Thomas walk.

- How many times did we get our hands on Sanchez only to let him get away. Our pass rush (or lack thereof) is a huge weakness we need to address. Frustrating.

- The running game looked good until Bush got injured. Considering how ineffective our passing game is, it's remarkable that we can run the football the way we do. I love it.

- Again, our receivers are weak. Armstrong dropped a perfectly placed ball when we badly needed a first down deep in our territory. We need to draft two more pass catchers next year. This offense needs some weapons BADLY.

- I'm adjusting my expectation from 3 wins to 5 wins. We still stink and have a long way to go. But right now the team is not worthless. We run the ball well, and stuff the run very well. That's a start._________________Earn more sessions by sleeving.

I don't think that the OP was saying Carpenter was the only reason we lost.
